Hello,

I'm attempting to write a script in cygwin. When I copy the line from 
the script and run it from the command line it works.

touch "/cygdrive/e/wsus/wsus_update_report.out"

When I run the script it gives me this error:

sys-scheduler AT backup /cygdrive/e/wsus
$ ./patch.sh
+ ./patch.sh
                                                WSUS Client Update 
Report for Tue-03-27-2007
touch: cannot touch `/cygdrive/e/wsus/wsus_update_report.out\r': No 
such file or directory
./patch.sh: line 11: $'\r': command not found
./patch.sh: line 13: $'\r': command not found
./patch.sh: line 15: $'\r': command not found
./patch.sh: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
'/patch.sh: line 16: `function checkreportingerrors {

The thing that is making it hard for me to troubleshoot this is that I 
have never scene the \r error and have no idea what it means. :/ Does 
anybody have any suggestions or ideas...

Thanks!

Kevin m
